HOT AIR BALLOON ENTERS RESTRICTED AREA AND AN ATA.

Narrative

WHILE ON A TRNING FLT IN A HOT AIR BALLOON (FREE BALLOON) FLYING AT AN ALT OF 1500'; I INADVERTENTLY ENTERED RESTR AIRSPACE OVER A LARGE FORESTED AREA. I BECAME AWARE OF THIS ERROR WHEN I WAS INFORMED OF SAME BY MY CHASE CREW WHO HAD BEEN INFORMED BY A LCL HUNTER. SINCE I WAS OVER A LARGE FORESTED AREA; LNDG IMMEDIATELY WASN'T A REASONABLE OPTION. AFTER LOCATING THE RESTR AREA ON MY WASHINGTON SECTIONAL CHART AND DETERMINING THE TOP OF SAME I IMMEDIATELY STARTED TO CLB TO AN ALT ABOVE IT. UPON REACHING AN ALT OF APPROX 4100' I RAN INTO AN AREA OF TURB THAT WAS UNSAFE FOR TH BALLOON AND MY LIMITED PLT EXPERIENCE. AT THIS POINT I DSNDED TO SMOOTH AIR AT AN ALT OF 3800' AND FLEW ACROSS AND OUT OF THE RESTR AREA. AT THIS TIME I BEGAN A RAPID DSCNT AND TRIED TO LAND IN A SMALL STRIP OF UNCONTROLLED AIRSPACE BTWN THE RESTR AREA AND THE QUANTICO ATA. I WAS UNABLE TO LAND IN SAME DUE TO HIGH DENSITY DEVELOPMENT AND PWR LINES. ONCE IT WAS OBVIOUS I COULD NOT LAND IN THIS AREA I STARTED TO CLB TO AN ALT OF 3500' SO I COULD CROSS OVER THE QUANTICO ATA AND DURING THE CLB TO CLEAR THE CEILING OF SAME I PASSED THROUGH A SMALL OUTER SECTION OF THEIR AIRSPACE. THE REST OF THE FLT WAS UNEVENTFUL AND ENDED IN A HAPPY AND SAFE LNDG. THE FREE BALLOON FLT INSTR'S RESPONSIBILITY IS OF VITAL IMPORTANCE TO A STUDENT'S FUTURE PERFORMANCE AND SAFETY AS A PLT. THEREFORE I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE FAA REVIEW AND CONSIDER ESTABLISHING A PROFESSIONAL FREE BALLOON FLT INSTR RATING.
